Abstract:
Background: The surface properties of dental and orthopedic implants are directly related to their osseointegration rate. Coating and/or modifying the implant surface might reduce the time of healing. In this study, we aimed to examine the effects of a hybrid surface consisting of a brushite surface coating and cross-linked water-soluble eggshell membrane protein on the osseointegration of titanium (Ti) screws under in vivo conditions.
Methods: Twenty Ti alloy screws were implanted monocortically in anteromedial regions of New Zealand rabbit tibiae. Ten screws were untreated and used as controls. The remaining 10 screws were coated with calcium phosphate and following cross-linked with ostrich eggshell membrane protein. All rabbits were sacrificed six weeks after the surgery. Peri-screw tissues were evaluated by micro-computed tomography (µ-CT), histological and histomorphometrical methods.
Results: The μ-CT assessments indicated that the experimental group had significantly higher mean bone surface area (BSA) and trabeculae number (TbN) than those of the control group (p ˂ 0.05). Bone surface area (BV), trabecular separation (TbSp), trabecular thickness (TbTh), and bone mineral density (BMD) scores of the control and experimental groups were quite similar (p > 0.05). The vascularization score of the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group (4.29 vs. 0.92%). No sign of the graft-versus-host reaction was observed.
Conclusion: Our findings reveal that coating Ti alloy implants with calcium phosphate cross-linked with ostrich eggshell membrane protein increases the osseointegration of Ti alloy screws by increasing the bone surface area, number of trabeculae and vascularization in the implant site.
